| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tyray I watched those videos and I respectfully suggest we simply agree to disagree regarding what constitutes "melodic" where Rap is concerned and focus on what we both like. Overall, from what I've seen so far, our tastes overlap much more t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman I’m afraid I can’t shed any light on the "Cisco" discrepancy but I’m looking forward to buying the Remler release! The Virtuoso series highlighted Pass’ solo chord melody playing. Here’s one of several that featured his single-line ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tyray Please link me to some Rap in which melody is as prominent as the rhythmic delivery of the lyrics. | |
| Jazz for aficionados ... while on the topic of Jazz guitar, here's a track from an upcoming live Emily Remler release "Live at the Four Queens, Las Vegas, May 28th, 1984": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akjgp20yZ8Y | |

| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tyray As a listener, rhythm is extremely important to me. On a wider scale, the contribution that African culture has contributed in this regard to the world (and to my enjoyment of Jazz, Rock and Blues) is unquestionable and profound. However... | |

| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @bdp24 I guess we should count ourselves as lucky to be familiar with Americana, given its great wealth of talent! @mahgister The truth is the public also must be talented and educated...No musician nevermind his genius can win over smartpho... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @frogman He is not saying that there are no good lyrics being written today. He acknowledges that there are. He is saying that today there are few songs with good lyrics relative to their popularity (number of listens). OK. My bad, then. I gu... | |
| Top 10 Live Albums @bassbuyer Wow that’s quite a list we’ve got going. Yes -- thanks to you for starting the thread! | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @ticat He only "has a point" regarding the limited scope of what he chooses to listen to. It’s a moot point to those of us who are aware of excellent songwriters Beato chooses to ignore. And, he's not a lyricist so he's hardly an "expert" when ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @gpgr4blu I’d be very interested to know which contemporary songwriters you’re comparing with those you listed from 60’s, 70’s. | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @simao But in many ways he's out of his depth when it comes to anything not in that Corridor View Agreed. You'd think a guy trained in Jazz would have bigger ears. . . | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @milpai Many of the best young players and songwriters today are to be found in the genre known as Americana. Beato completely ignores this genre. In another genre, altogether, are the Black Pumas, who describe themselves as Psychedelic Soul. ... | |
